Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Michigan

In Michigan My husband is serving a year in county jail after a probation violation. Probation only recommended 6 months and suspension of probation. We feel it was too harsh and would like to appeal the sentence we are past 42 days of the sentence. How successful would we be in appeal and how much does something like this cost?
